Eurovision 2020: Amsterdam drops out of the host city race
The Muncipality of Amsterdam has announced today that it will not submit a bid in order to host the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest next year. Thus Amsterdam becomes the fourth city to drop out of 2020 host bidding race, leaving five cities to fight for the coveted role of the 2020 ESC Host City.
The Municipality of Amsterdam has not been able to find a suitable location to hold Europe’s favourite television show as all three potential venues in the city are fully booked during the Eurovision period.
This leaves Rotterdam, Utrecht, Den Bosch and Arnhem and Maastricht / Limburg in the host city battle. The Hague, Leeuwarden and Breda have all dropped out of the host city bidding race.
